The 2024 Hirsch Bohan-Dillon Pinot Noir is a vibrant Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir from Hirsch Vineyards in Fort Ross–Seaview, California. In a rare expression of the label, the 2024 vintage is produced entirely from biodynamically farmed Hirsch estate fruit, crafted with the same meticulous winemaking as the estate's single-vineyard wines. Matured in 27% new French oak, it offers an approachable yet authentic reflection of the rugged West Sonoma Coast. The nose is bright and inviting with aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry and cassis, complemented by notes of plum skin, wet stone and redwood forest.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, juicy red fruit and lively natural acidity. Flavours of red cherry, raspberry and plum are layered with hints of forest floor, mineral freshness and subtle spice, leading to a long, vibrant finish. Elegant and effortlessly drinkable, the wine captures the freshness and coastal character of the Sonoma Coast while maintaining the structure and precision that define Hirsch Vineyards.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for those seeking a refined yet approachable Californian Pinot Noir with purity, freshness and exceptional value. Pair it with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto or herb-roasted chicken. Enjoy now with a short decant, or cellar for 6–10 years to develop greater savoury complexity and elegance.
